The verdict

Castmagic wins, 6.2 to 5.8

Castmagic turns a recording into show notes, blog posts and social posts automatically; Trint does not generate that kind of content from a transcript. Trint, though, transcribes live audio as it happens, a feature Castmagic does not offer. Castmagic connects to 12 apps to Trint's 9.

Pick Castmagic if you want show notes, posts and articles written for you.

Pick Trint if you need live transcription as audio happens.
